Devastated Madera mother Veronica San Juan said her young boy was caring, kind, and wanted to eventually play football. Now she's planning his funeral and begging for those responsible to come forward.

"It's the hardest thing I've ever gone through. I don't wish it upon nobody," said Veronica San Juan, Leonardo Morales' mother. "That's why whoever did this, I just want them to come forward."

In a tearful plea, she begged for justice after her 9-year-old son, Leonardo Morales, was murdered.

"I'm not going to hate them, cause I know my baby wouldn't have hated them either. I just want them to turn themselves in," said San Juan.
